≥Select “Bright” in “FL Dimmer” in the “Others” tab.

≥You inserted a disc the unit cannot play; insert one it can.

≥You inserted a blank disc.

≥You inserted a disc that has not been finalized.

≥You have not inserted a disc; insert one.

≥You have not inserted the disc correctly; insert it correctly.

≥Check and correct the speaker cable connections. If this does not fix the problem, consult the dealer.

≥Disc may be dirty. Wipe it clean.

≥Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again.

≥Trouble may have occurred. The number following “H” depends on the status of the unit. Turn the unit off and then back on. Alternatively, turn the unit off, disconnect the AC power supply cord, and then reconnect it.

≥If the service numbers fail to clear, note the service number and contact a qualified service person.

≥There is no link between the main unit and the wireless system. Check that the wireless system is plugged into the AC outlet.

≥Ensure that the digital transceiver is fully inserted into the slot of the main unit.

≥Down-mixing is the process of remixing the multiple-channel audio found on some discs into two channels. The disc contains single-channel or multiple-channel signals which may not be reproduced authentically.

≥It takes a short time for the XM radio to power up after turning on the main unit, during which time “XM RADIO” is displayed (only when the selected source is XM).

Wait a few seconds for this process to complete.

≥An error in the XM radio module has been detected. Turn the main unit off, and then back on to clear the error.

≥If the error message persists, the XM radio module may need repair.

For repair work, refer to “Customer Services Directory” in the limited warranty section of this manual.
